The short definition of Bokeh from KenRockwell.com, which I am using for voting on this challenge: "Bokeh describes the rendition of out-of-focus points of light." Is the subject enhanced by the bokeh of the background? For me this doesn't work as a bokeh shot. Pretty though.

The short definition of Bokeh from KenRockwell.com, which I am using for voting on this challenge: "Bokeh describes the rendition of out-of-focus points of light." I'm not seeing that here. Is the subject enhanced by the bokeh of the background? The subject is enhanced by the background, but it isn't really bokeh. Very nice composition and tones.

The short definition of Bokeh from KenRockwell.com, which I am using for voting on this challenge: "Bokeh describes the rendition of out-of-focus points of light." We do see a bit of that on the glass guitar. The rest of the photo isn't in sharp enough focus to really tell. Is the subject enhanced by the bokeh of the background? To my eye the bokeh is such a minor part of a very jumbled and poorly shot image that it really doesn't even come into play. the blue background is distracting, the light from the right of the frame appears to be too hot, the black.... fur? is just weird.... This doesn't work for me.

Is the subject enhanced by the bokeh of the background? The combination of flowers and berries do make for a colorful image, but to my eye the frame looks crammed full and contrived. I'd prefer to see more simplicity. So in that respect, I don't feel that any element here enhances another, they just distract from one another.

Is the subject enhanced by the bokeh of the background? To my eye the specular bokeh highlights are distracting from the main subjects. The shot itself is lovely, though the hand position in the frame is distracting and abruptly cut off. This is going to sound really weird, but something about the tones and colors in this image remind me of some 70s sitcom. Not that that's a bad thing! :D

The short definition of Bokeh from KenRockwell.com, which I am using for voting on this challenge: "Bokeh describes the rendition of out-of-focus points of light." Check. Is the subject enhanced by the bokeh of the background? Check. The color is warm and creamy and the bokeh is lovely and smooth. Very nice.
